    Man, I read this and laugh. So many of you forget that game developers rarely represent the target market. A better and more useful discussion would be one you had with your target market.

    With that said, I do believe the best instructions are tied into the first few levels and come up as needed rather then a block of text off the main menu. If you pull down any of the current big-hits on Real Arcade, you will see they all do this.

    If anyone has played the game Red, I think that is a decent intro. It takes about 5 seconds to go through and gives you all the instructions.
